Dbench

Dbench is a benchmark designed by the Samba project as a free alternative to netbench, but dbench contains only file-system calls for testing the disk performance.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark system/dbench.

Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

Dbench 4.0

Client Count: 1

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 59 public results since 12 September 2017 with the latest data as of 10 April 2024.

Additional benchmark metrics will come after OpenBenchmarking.org has collected a sufficient data-set.
